Gender, Generation and Identity

in Contemporary Russia

This book explores the lives and expectations of young women in the

new Russia, looking at the enormous changes that the new social and

economic environment has brought.

The contributors, all of whom either live and work in Russia or

spend a significant amount of their time there, focus on the

emergence of the ‘beauty myth’, the growth of the sex industry and

the rise in sexual violence, on women’s views of marriage and child

rearing, on youth culture and the role of girls within it, on education,

and on career expectations and difficulties. The book discusses both

the actual experience of young women in Russia and the context of

that experience in contrast to that of the West, looking at how the

media, academia and state institutions in Russia and in the West have

viewed the interaction of gender and youth.

Gender Generation and Identity will appeal to students and

scholars of contemporary Russia and to sociologists interested in the

interaction of gender and youth, who will find the book presents a

fascinating comparison to the growing literature on gender and

generation in the West.

Hilary Pilkington is Lecturer in Russian Politics and Society at the

Centre for Russian and East European Studies, The University of

Birmingham.
